Victoria Street Roadway & Trail Conceptual Design Study | Study Report - DRAFT | PAGE 21 As noted in Table 2, the rural section would result in much greater right of way impacts due to the dimensions required by State Aid standards. The two separated bike lane concepts are not consistent with the surrounding nonmotorized network and are less intuitive for users of all abilities. The two bike lanes also could not be built in phases because only one direction of travel is provided on each side of the road. The remaining cross sections, after being considered from a phased approach where a nonmotorized facility is only constructed on one side of Victoria St, were consolidated into two concepts that moved forward for further development and evaluation: • Trail on the west side. • Trail on the east side. Full Concepts Based on the outcomes of the cross section screening, two concepts were developed for the full study area. Based on public input and additional analysis, the study area was revised during concept development to extend north to Harriet Avenue rather than Cannon Avenue. This allowed the full corridor concepts to consider connectivity to the existing trails along Victoria Street north of Cannon Avenue. Concept 1: Trail on West Side Concept 1 (Phase 1) would construct a 10-foot bituminous multiuse trail along the west side of Victoria Street from County Road C to Harriet Avenue, where it would connect to the existing trail along the west side of Victoria Street that begins at Harriet Avenue. The existing sidewalk along the west side of Victoria Street between County Road C and Woodhill Drive would be replaced by the new trail. The existing trail along the east side of Victoria Street between Arbogast Street and Harriet Avenue would remain in place. Retaining walls would be required in some locations along the corridor. A concrete curb and gutter would be constructed along the west side of the road. The width of the shoulder on the west side would also be reduced, and motor vehicle travel lanes would be restriped to reduce widths from 12 feet to 11 feet. A plan view of Concept 1 is shown in Figure 16, with additional details shown in Attachment B. Typical sections that correspond to the markers in the plan view concept are shown in Figure 17 (A-A through E- E). Concept 2: Trail on East Side Concept 2 (Phase 1) would construct a 10-foot bituminous multiuse trail along the east side of Victoria Street from County Road C to Cannon Avenue, where it would connect to the existing trail along the east side of Victoria Street between Arbogast Street and Harriet Avenue. The existing sidewalk along the west side of Victoria Street between County Road C and Woodhill Drive would remain in place. Retaining walls would be required in some locations along the corridor. A concrete curb and gutter would be constructed along the east side of the road. The width of the shoulder on the east side would also be reduced, and motor vehicle travel lanes would be restriped to reduce widths from 12 feet to 11 feet. A plan view of Concept 2 is shown in Figure 18, with additional details shown in Attachment C. Typical sections that correspond to the markers in the plan view concept are shown in Figure 19 (A-A through E- E).
